Merry Christmas :)

Hello, Hello! Sorry I have not updated you guys on Ls Tubes. Everything went very well. He was fussy waking up from being put under but other than that everything was nearly great. I say nearly because on Thursday he started to run a fever. So Dr. Reichert wanted to see him in the office. Dr. Reichert had to drain a lot of fluid from behind his ear before he put in the tube so he thought it could be clogged and infected. However that was not the case and everything looked good. He did however suck some yucky stuff out of his ear and I could barley hold him down. For 11 1/2 (OMGosh he is almost 1 ;( )months old he is really strong. But all in all everything was great.

Here in the Midwest we got 6 inches of snow!! It was a perfect time too, it was the weekend so D was off work and Mwas off school. It was so nice out that we were sitting in the snow eating it and throwing snowballs at the dogs. When I let P eat it I thought he was going to faint....he was so excited! Photos will be posted later when I have patience for slide.com!

For the past 3 years it has been a tradition to wear our PJ's on Christmas day to Ds families house. I must say it is a WONDERFUL tradition. Even better is the first year we stared this we had pizza and sundaes to eat!!! I must say I totally recommend at least trying it for one year and if your family doesn't like it....they are crazy!

There was is a friend in our church who had a baby! And I got to photograph him on Saturday! You can see his photos at http://www.danielpaigephotography.blogspot.com/ I must say he is a total cutie! James is a sweet heart!

We are so excited to have D at home with us this year on Christmas Eve. His company was nice enough to let all the employees have Christmas Eve off! Thanks Bob!! We are going to celebrate Christmas Eve this year by going out to my mom's house early for breakfast and then we are going to make Christmas Cookies!! At 3:00 we are going to stop and open gifts and then let the kids have time to play. When my brother and his girlfriend come over we are going to have dinner. Then we will get changed in to our PJ's and play for a little longer before it is time to pack up and get ready for Santa :) P stared out the Christmas season calling Santa "Christmas" We would show him a picture of Santa and he would say "ohhh, Christmas." Very Cute!! I wish I had it on video like the Poop Porch thing! That was funny!

Well, I must go now! I hope you all have a wonderful CHRISTmas!!!

Parker's Last Day of School

Yesterday morning I got the BEST photo of my boys! P was being all sweet on L and wanted him to hug him. It took a couple of tries but I finally got the BEST one!! Check out below!

Look how loving he is trying to be to his little brother! ;)

Also, Thursday was Ps last day of school. So below are some photos of that!

P's Favorite Tacher, Joe

P's girlfriend, Callie

OK....so Tuesday was the big day to get the approval. Dr. Reichert is old....but that means he has seen A LOT of kids and has A LOT of experience! RIGHT! Well, he was just too cute with the shinny circle thing on his head....like in the photo below! The shinny leather thing was old...it had a leather strap.



So D sat in the chair with L and he checks out his ears. He goes through the drill....asks us questions about P's tubes and tells us we can schedule with the front desk!

One thing he did say was that L, unlike P has large ear canals (see below for a photo of this too). With P we do not have to put anything in his ears when he takes a bath....but since L's ear canals are larger we have to do this...he is fine in the pool water but not in lakes, baths or rivers....like we are going to send our 11 month old floating down a river.



So that is the jist of it. Surgery is at St. John's Surgery Center! We have had all of out surgery's there!!

Also, today is P's last day of school.....yeah!! He made it! I will take some photos of him today....I hope he smiles for the camera.....BTW....the principal of the school's daughter is in the class and she told her mom that P is her best friend! I guess he is nice to someone!!

OUT!

Just wanted to say that the doc. thinks that L is a great canidate for tubes and we will be getting them on Monday. I will explain more later! Thanks for the prayers!

tu3es

that is right....l has an appointment for tomorrow to find out if he needs tubes. i should have gone with my motherly intuition and just made the appointment but i was hoping for no surgery. we have been through 3 now with p. those include tubes at 5 months, stitches in the tongue at 18 months and re-circumcised at 21 months. what a mess. so pray for tomorrow! i wonder if the nurses at st. johns will remember us.....

Happy Monthday Lincoln!

That is right...Little Man is 11 months old today! Here is a video for your viewing pleasure! :)

What's a "meme?"

Whether you pronounce it "meme" rhyming with "cream" or "meme" as in "memory," it's all the same. In the blogging world, someone posts a list of questions on their site and then tags everyone else to answer those same questions. They are generally not multiple choice and hopefully encourage a little more creativity than a yes-or-no survey.









Sometimes you see a meme on someone else's site and even though you weren't tagged, you decide to post on your blog with the same list of questions. I saw this on someone else's site but I'm not going to mention any names.....RACHEL.









This is a meme with picture answers. The plan is to google (image) your answer and then pick one of the pictures from the first page of results. Here we go....









1. What age will you be at your next birthday?









ummm....click here....









2. Where would you like to travel?

3. Where is your favorite place?








4. What are your favorite pasttimes?

5. What is your favorite food?

6. What is your favorite animal?







7. What is your favorite color?







8. In what town were you born?



9. In what town do you live?



10. What is the name of a past pet?



11. What is your current pet's name?




12 What is your best friend's nickname?

You got me there.....

13. What is your nickname?



14. What is your first name?



15. What is a bad habit you have?





16. What was your first job?


Just kidding...I saw it and had to put in on there!!



17. What was your favorite job?



18. What is your grandmother's name?



19. What was your college major?

L now has 3 teeth...good thing because he eats about 4-6 jars of baby food per day. He needs more teeth to be able to eat "big people food". When we were at the doctors office for the ear infection Dr. Agolia said that he is working on 3 more.....poor little guy, just can't get a break!

Can you say PRICELESS....these are the oldest and youngest men in my life!

If you are keeping track....

I took L to Dr. Agolia today and he not only has one ear infection....he has TWO..........

Dr. Agolia says we don't qualify for tubes....we have to have one more within the next month.....gimme me a BREAK......

Santa's Cheating....

That is right....he is cheating on Mrs. Clause. Look below for the proof.

Love it....I went to check on her and this is what I found!!

Leaves, Leaves & more Leaves!

While I was raking up the leaves P had a very hard time controlling himself to stay out of the leaves...so today I let them have at it.....

by the way...it feels good to be back!! Thanks Em Lou!!!

Something Special about That!

Seriously...what was I thinking....ummm that last post said NOTHING about M, P & L like the title says.....





N*E*WAYZ (do y'all remember that?)





Mom had P a couple of weeks ago and he went to spend some time with Joe's (Joe is my step-dad, but often times refer to him and mom to "my parents" (there is a long story there)) dad; So that would be P's Great-Grandpa George (Papa George). My parents live less than 1/4th of a mile from them so we often will ride the golf cart there to see them and I guess P wanted to stay and help Papa George....these photos are priceless...

My kids are so blessed to have so many grandparents in the area

that they can spend time with!!!

M, P & L

Really it is already the 16th of NOVEMBER....I am not even going to check and see how many days until Christmas...it is so exciting, stressful, and fun at the same time. Christmas with kids is a whole new world. Especially if they are old enough to have fun with it. P will be a blast!! M is excited too and well, L it is just another day for him!

We are getting things in line to lay ceramic tile in the kitchen and do some things in our partially finished basement....the ceiling is not finished. So the goal is to change the lighting in the basement to some can lights?(I googled can lights and got nothing...sorry there is NO link), and then we are going to spray the ceiling a flat black. Our friends have this done in their basement and it looks really cool. Not to mention...this is in our price range!! :) Then we want to paint the walls, I am thinking a pastel green and pastel purple in the play room. With Chalk Board paint around the bottom. We would paint the rest of the basement a green or a tan color. In the other room we want to have an office/bedroom/living room....yeah I know a lot to fit in such a small area....but it is not that small. I want to put the TV in a place where you can view it from the bed and the couch, then I have my desk to put somewhere too....any ideas?

We are looking forward to the holidays....My Grandparents are going to be in town!! M loves to see Grandpa Ron with all the dogs!!! They have hunting dogs!!

I am out!! Have a great weekend....I am going to try to post more often so you can read about our kiddos!!

10 months....where has the time gone?

Happy 10th Monthday, L-Train!!

Love,

Daddy, Mommy, M and P

#70

Yeah, this is my 70th post. We have been so busy...

Good news about the furnace...it wasn't totally out...but the guy did tell us there is a good chance that it will go out within 5 years. It ended up costing us $75.00 to get it fixed. I was not here when it got fixed but apparently it was GROSS. I guess we should have it cleaned more often...

M has a new job that she is getting paid $2.00 for....

that is right she is picking up dog doo doo. And she even came to me today and said she wanted to do it...she must want to go shopping. That's my GIRL!!!

A BIG THANKS from L goes out to Rachel, his girlfriends momma. She made him the cutes blanket and he has quickly grown attached to it. THANKS RACHEL!! I LOVE IT!!!

P started school on Monday. Monday he threw 2 fits, Tuesday he threw 2 fits and today well today was a fit all day long. He was pretty good during the first hour then I think he was just really tired from the week.

The type of preschool he is in now is through Fort Zumwalt West High School. The high school students have to take child development classes and after 2-3 classes they can sign up for the lab. This is a class that the teacher selects the students so they are usually good students. P is 1 of 16 children in the class and there are about 5-6 student teachers in the class. I noticed on the "Topics to Discuss" list on the board in the classroom was PARKER. (I am sure that I totally confused some of you so I will take some photos and post them.) So I guess on Monday P's name will be brought up multiple times.

Do you really think this face could throw a fit??

boy are you WRONG....

Last but not least....here is some tongue from L!!
